Jackie Webb

Jackie Webb is a Lecturer in Environmental Science at the University of Southern Queensland, leading research on water quality, greenhouse gas dynamics, and biogeochemical processes in agricultural landscapes. She holds a BEnvSc and PhD from Southern Cross University (2014 and 2017). Her work integrates terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems to address climate change mitigation and sustainable agriculture.

Dr. Webb’s research focuses on carbon cycling, hydrological monitoring, and greenhouse gas accounting in agricultural and coastal systems. She has held roles at Charles Sturt University (casual academic), University of Regina (postdoc), and Deakin University (Research Fellow until 2024). Her affiliations include the Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Systems and Centre for Agricultural Engineering at USQ.

Teaching responsibilities include courses such as Conservation for Sustainable Futures (REN2606) and Catchment and Water Resource Management (WAT2202). Research highlights include global studies on inland water CO2/N2O budgets and groundwater-driven carbon fluxes in coastal environments.

Her scientific contributions emphasize quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from farm dams, irrigation systems, and wetlands, with a focus on optimizing agricultural practices to reduce climate impacts. Collaborations span institutions globally, including the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan.
